    • My defence was standard no paperwork:   1.The Defendant contends that the particulars of claim are generic in nature. The Defendant accordingly sets out its case below and relies on CPR r 16.5 (3) in relation to any particular allegation to which a specific response has not been made. 2. Paragraph 1 is noted. The Defendant has had a contractual relationship with MBNA Limited in the past. The Defendant does not recognise the reference number provided by the claimant within its particulars and has sought verification from the claimant who is yet to comply with requests for further information. 3. Paragraph 2 is denied. The Defendant maintains that a default notice was never received. The Claimant is put to strict proof to that a default notice was issued by MBNA Limited and received by the Defendant. 4. Paragraph 3 is denied. The Defendant is unaware of any legal assignment or Notice of Assignment allegedly served from either the Claimant or MBNA Limited. 5. On the 02/01/2023 the Defendant requested information pertaining to this claim by way of a CCA 1974 Section 78 request. The claimant is yet to respond to this request. On the 19/05/2023 a CPR 31.14 request was sent to Kearns who is yet to respond. To date, 02/06/2023, no documentation has been received. The claimant remains in default of my section 78 request. 6. It is therefore denied with regards to the Defendant owing any monies to the Claimant, the Claimant has failed to provide any evidence of proof of assignment being sent/ agreement/ balance/ breach or termination requested by CPR 31.14, therefore the Claimant is put to strict proof to: (a) show how the Defendant entered into an agreement; and (b) show and evidence the nature of breach and service of a default notice pursuant to Section 87(1) CCA1974 (c) show how the claimant has reached the amount claimed for; and (d) show how the Claimant has the legal right, either under statute or equity to issue a claim; 7. As per Civil Procedure Rule 16.5(4), it is expected that the Claimant prove the allegation that the money is owed. 8. On the alternative, as the Claimant is an assignee of a debt, it is denied that the Claimant has the right to lay a claim due to contraventions of Section 136 of the Law of Property Act and Section 82A of the consumer credit Act 1974. 9. By reasons of the facts and matters set out above, it is denied that the Claimant is entitled to the relief claimed or any relief.
    • Monika the first four pages of the Private parking section have at least 12 of our members who have also been caught out on this scam site. That's around one quarter of all our current complaints. Usually we might expect two current complaints for the same park within 4 pages.  So you are in good company and have done well in appealing to McDonalds in an effort to resolve the matter without having  paid such a bunch of rogues. Most people blindly pay up. Met . Starbucks and McDonalds  are well aware of the situation and seem unwilling to make it easier for motorists to avoid getting caught. For instance, instead of photographing you, if they were honest and wanted you  to continue using their services again, they would have said "Excuse me but if you are going to go to Mc donalds from here, it will cost you £100." But no they kett quiet and are now pursuing you for probably a lot more than £100 now. They also know thst  they cannot charge anything over the amount stated on the car park signs. Their claims for £160 or £170 are unlawful yet so many pay that to avoid going to Court. When the truth is that Met are unlikely to take them to Court since they know they will lose. The PCNs are issued on airport land which is covered by Byelaws so only the driver can be pursued, not the keeper. But they keep writing to you as they do not know who was driving unless you gave it away when you appealed. Even if they know you were driving they should still lose in Court for several reasons. The reason we ask you to fill out our questionnaire is to help you if MET do decide to take you to Court in the end. Each member who visited the park may well have different experiences while there which can help when filling out a Witness statement [we will help you with that if it comes to it.] if you have thrown away the original PCN  and other paperwork you obviously haven't got a jerbil or a guinea pig as their paper makes great litter boxes for them.🙂 You can send an SAR to them to get all the information Met have on you to date. Though if you have been to several sites already, you may have done that by now. In the meantime, you will be being bombarded by illiterate debt collectors and sixth rate solicitors all threatening you with ever increasing amounts as well as being hung drawn and quartered. Their letters can all be safely ignored. On the odd chance that you may get a Letter of Claim from them just come back to us and we will get you to send a snotty letter back to them so that they know you are not happy, don't care a fig for their threats and will see them off in Court if they finally have the guts to carry on. If you do have the original PCN could you please post it up, carefully removing your name. address and car registration number but including dates and times. If not just click on the SAR to take you to the form to send to Met.

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

I normally work mon - fri and I believe my contract says i am entitled to 3 days full pay before Statutory Sick Pay.

 

I left work ill on the weds and was off the thurs and fri before the bank holiday on the monday. I returned to work on the friday after still being ill bank holiday monday, tues, wed & thurs.

 

My employer says that I should only be paid SSP for the bank holiday as I was ill, but surely I am entitled to normal pay, as everyone else will have received!? I do not work bank holidays and they are in addition to my normal 20 days holiday.

 

Has anyone any advice or refer me to any websites please, cannot find an answer to this scenario anywhere on gov. websites etc..

 

Many thanks

Ooooo....tricky one. Not entirely black and white, at all. What is your company policy, and what does it say in you contract, about sickness notification? IE do you have to call in each day you are off? Or just notify at the beginning and end?

Are you sure? It is usual practice to be the reverse of this - only getting full sick pay after 3 days (the idea being to discourage people from "pulling a sickie" and having the odd 1 or 2 days off).

Opinions given herein are made informally by myself as a lay-person in good faith based on personal experience. For legal advice you must always consult a registered and insured lawyer.

Up to 3 days is normal pay, this is classed as the waiting? period, then after that is SSP - the question being, that should I get normal pay like evryone else for that day or can it be reduced to SSP...? Surely, it is nothing to do with the employer what the situation was on bank hol, I was entitled to be off...? Couldn't have worked if I had wanted to!...?

 

 

Cheers for quick replies

Ello Barracad the company i work for pays Full company sick pay from the 1st day of sickness, i also work tues to Sat hence sun and mon are my days off or rest days as the company i work for call it, if i am sick for one week or say fri sat sun mon and return tues, then i will get full sick pay for the days i would of worked under my contract, ie will be paid for fri sat but NOT for sun and mon as not contracted to work them, as the case of the poster of thread, since you work mon to fri then the sickness pay will cover the same period, but as Barracad has said a large % of companys don't pay for the 1st three days. hence you will be paid just 2/5 if you have used your entitlement of company sick pay, then chances are you will just get ssp again only comes into affect after the 3rd day of sickness. Since one of your sickness days fell on a bank holiday then it is classed as a holiday hence day off, but since you were sick, no holiday pay would be payable. and most likly no sick pay if the company you work for operates a 3 day wait period.

Hope you have now got over what kept you from work :) you might want to contact ur union or try Acas - Home whom can assist more/better.

OK in my opinion there are two possible situations:

 

- It is not classed as a sick day - more likely if you had to have daily notification. In this case you would be paid as normal.

 

- It is classed as a sick day, as if you had worked. Not entirely out of the question, as many companies will, for example, class a day on holiday if sick as a sick day and "recredit" the holiday day. However, if this were the case, you should receive the sick pay AND in my opinion a day in "lieu" - ie an extra days holiday.

 

In my opinion, no middle ground.

if your company usually do not work bank holidays, and pay in full, rather than deduct from your holiday entitlement, then they have to pay the full amount, unless a sick note covering the bank holiday was in force.

I would normally have got paid in full for bank hol, my sick note did essentially cover the bank hol, but does this give them the right to reduce my entitlement??? Again, everyone else has got paid in full for bank hol...:confused:

 

cheers

I'm afraid so, it is a bit of a loop hole, if the sick note covers say 7 days, then you are better off taking the 7 days. if you go back on day 6, or day 6 is a holiday, they can get away with reducing the payment. I am not a solicitor, but until very recently I was a company director, and that is how the rules are written, some are in favour of the employee/worker, others are in favour of the employer, I think they call it swings and round-a-bouts.

Where I work they would have classed the Wednesday as day 1 as you went home sick, so the weds, thurs, fri would be the three days, the BH mon would have been treated as sick pay and we would reclaim a holiday day - have you asked if you can have the days holiday back?

At my firm - i do the wages sheets - if you are sent home from work sick - you will be paid' 'paid medical time' for the rest of the day - then your 1st day of sick starts the next day. if you are on the sick - whether you have run out of company sick pay and on s.s.p only or not, you will be taken off the sick - paid full bank holiday pay for that particular day , then the following day you will revert back to what ever you were getting paid whilst on sick leave. We pay full sick pay from day one as long as you havent run out of your company sick pay and you ring in before 9.30 on the first day of sickness and keep us informed throughout the illness and everyone on the payroll gets full stat.hol.pay.

If you have booked holiday and you fall sick on that holiday - you ring and tell us you are sick and as long as you cover that with a sicknote - (self certification or med note) then you will get paid sickness and get your holiday entitlement back, however if it is a 'premises closed' for holiday period - then you are not entitiled to claim sickness or 'back holidays':)Alot depends on your company and what is and isnt agreed with the unions. Have a look at your employment contract - you should find the answer in there. Im sure there must be some employment law experts somewhere onthese forums....

  • 1 year later...

Can anyone be kind enough to give me some advice and (truth!). On the 22nd Dec 08, I fell ill with chest infection and I was on holiday; and back in work the next day 23rd Dec 08. My only available appointment, with my GP was on the 23rd Dec 08. On the 23rd Dec, I phoned in sick and said I might come in the next day, Christmas Eve. When my GP examined me, he said I had a very bad chest infection and gave me a sick note of 7 days commencing from the 23rd Dec and this was handed into my employer on that very same day. When I got back in on 31st Dec 08, I got my wage slip and only got SSP of £55.08 and no holiday pay of Cristmas and Boxing Day. I was told I lost this because of not turning up for Christmas Eve. When I told them my sick note should cover that from the 23rd. They tell me I don't get payed for the first 3 days, hence, 23rd, 24th and 25th. Surley by law, this is a public holiday and this should not be affected. One of my work collegue told me I am still entitled for 2 lieu days that is owed to me if I don't get paid. Is this true? What are my rights with this situation? Your advice would be much appriciated.:confused:

Hi poppynurse, thanks for that. As this is my first time using this, how do I go about setting up my own thread? Do I type in employment in the search engine and start a new post? Perhap a little demo will help, sorry for asking. :):oops:
